Not a betting man but my money is on Jacobs v. Hod x 11 and it isn’t even close.

Pa Hod x 11 maybe. Otherwise no.

What are the next main schedule/agenda things for the offseason and when are they? Minicamp and schedule release? More PTO burn?

I was referring to Green Bay using its stadium grounds for the draft with the stadium itself as part of the scenery/backdrop, and my answer was poorly worded.

Dare I say Packers fans are winsome? In all seriousness, what happened in KC was tragic and disturbing, but a Super Bowl parade can’t and won’t have the security measures in place that there were for the draft. I had a special pass to park in Lambeau’s underground lot for those three days (we don’t…
